It's all too easy to let the adjectives flow when describing a BMW. Sophisticated engineering, attractive and understated design, jewel-like finish quality and road behavior matched only by a select few competitors can't help but make an impression on even the most jaded test driver.
The company's 5-Series sedans have long been favorites with automotive
journalists and customers alike. From the beginning they have blended performance and luxury in a most appealing way. In effect, they have traditionally
been slightly smaller versions of BMW's flagship 7-Series sedans, built
to the same standards and carrying most of the same features, yet more
maneuverable and less expensive.
Several manufacturers have compact luxury sedans in their catalogs:
Audi offers the A6, Mercedes-Benz the E-Class, Lexus and Infiniti have
the GS 300 and J30 respectively, Acura has the TL, and Cadillac has recently
weighed in with the German-built Catera. There's a considerable price spread
among these contenders, though the final price of any of them will depend
on equipment level and/or the dealer's need to move cars out quickly.
Even among such high-class company, the 5-Series makes a strong case
for itself. You may have to shell out a substantial chunk of money for
one, but you'll get what you paid for, and more.
